Rhein-Main Baskets relegated from Bundesliga for first time since 2008

The Rhein-Main Baskets, a joint sports community from Hofheim and Langen, have been relegated from the Bundesliga for the first time since 2008.

Despite winning their final game of the season 62:55 against Bamberg, the Baskets failed to overcome the aggregate score deficit. After trailing by 11 points in the previous week's matchup, the team needed a 12-point victory to remain in the league. Although they held a 17-point lead during the game, Bamberg managed to close the gap through defensive adjustments. The relegation was confirmed after a final shot by the Baskets failed to go in, leaving them four points short of the required total.
